Bottom Line
The 15 fire pit grills above are a fun way to enjoy a little extra heat during your next camp outing or picnic. Or, take advantage of the grill and fire to snack on s’mores, corn on the cob, BBQ and more.
As with any other kind of grill, there are specific instructions for how to take care of the food remnants after the grill is cool. In addition to regular maintenance, avoid using ice cubes or other coolants to speed up the cooling process, primarily because you will put your own grill at an increased risk of creating unnecessary rust. Clean as instructed by the manufacturer.
Some fire pit grills are also not recommended to use during extremely hot days or windy days, and other manufacturers warn owners to never leave the fire pit outside, even when not in use.
While some require assembly, others can easily be set up and broken down simply by removing and/or adding the legs, the mesh screen and a lid.
Know ahead of time whether you’ll need to use your grill in a setting that requires constant setup and breakdown to decide which ones work best for you.
